I don't really see how setting a window property and keeping it up to date constantly is less work than an XMoveResize one time when you are shutting down. Nor do I see how adding a property that all WMs need to code around is less disruptive than an XMoveResize that lets them know the correct geometry without having to change anything at all. And if a window can't handle being resized.. that's kind of funny. Are your users switching/restarting their WM multiple times a second? _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
